About Katja
Katja Brodt de Sousa is a compassionate counsellor who helps people untangle patterns that hold them back. She focuses on easing anxiety, depression, stress and relationship strain so people can reconnect with themselves and others. Katja speaks English and German and works from the United Kingdom.
She draws on 18 years of practice to help clients notice self-sabotaging thoughts and habits. Sessions aim to make those patterns clearer and more manageable. The work often covers issues such as grief, trauma, addiction, codependency and problems with intimacy.
Katja blends several therapeutic styles to match each person’s needs. She uses elements from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, client-centred listening and attachment work alongside existential and mindfulness ideas. That mix is used to help people build self-acceptance, reduce shame and take practical steps day to day.
The approach is collaborative and straightforward. People can expect to talk through painful memories, rehearse new ways of relating, and practice coping strategies between sessions. Katja also supports clients through major life changes such as separation, career shifts or caregiving stress.
Her listing notes BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Katja’s practice combines long experience with a focus on helping people find more honest connection to themselves and others.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and to themselves, and it can be useful for issues like abandonment, intimacy problems and family of origin concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is practical and goal-oriented, helping people test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviours to reduce anxiety, low mood or compulsive habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist will work together with the client to choose or combine methods based on their goals, current needs and personal preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps the work feel relevant and sustainable.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It lets people attend from different locations and can reduce travel time or planning around work and caregiving.
